Chapter 205: Imprisonment
"Never! My lord! ”
In the solemn public court, Ding, who heard Xia Shuanghan's proposal to "postpone the verdict", spoke out with emotion and objected: "My lord, just relying on the one-sided words of the loyal and righteous countryman, I want to put my nephew's body in the yamen for 20 days for no reason, which is really extremely reckless!" ”
"If your relative dies suddenly, would you be willing to put him out and wait for twenty days for an absurd and impossible result, but not take care of his funeral?"
"Your Excellency!" Hearing Ding's speech, Xia Shuanghan was also not to be outdone: "Ding Gongzi, he is not dead at all now, if his body is returned to his family, once the coffin is covered and buried, he will change from fake death to real death." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe case was hastily concluded today, not only can my grievances not be revealed, but Ding Gongzi may also take his life. Let me ask, what is the importance of waiting for 20 days compared to human life? ”
"Zuo," Jing Zhaoyin, who was sitting in the hall and listened carefully to the arguments of the two parties, said: "According to your examination, judging from the factual results of the test, is there any factual evidence that can support the fake death medicine that Zhongyi Xiangjun said?" ”
"Lord Hui," knelt on the ground for a long time, and then finally got a chance to speak, straightened up and arched his hand back: "According to the results of the fact-checking, it is indeed possible that the statement put forward by the Zhongyi Xiangjun is the truth. ”
After all, Ding Gongzi couldn't feel his breathing and couldn't touch his pulse now, whether it was zombie or corpse spots, these symptoms or traces that should really appear on his body really didn't appear at all. Therefore, according to the explanation made by Fang Cai Zhongyi Xiangjun, the statement that Ding Gongzi was not killed is indeed very likely to be the truth. ”
"Hmm...... Case. ”
With the statement provided by the pretend, and the fact that he had already witnessed the fact that the "corpse" that should have been stiff now did retain its softness, Jing Zhaoyin, who had made up his mind, no longer paid attention to the objections that Ding wanted to raise, but made a temporary closing statement.
"Now this official announces that this case will be in accordance with the proposal of the Zhongyi Xiangjun, and after a definite conclusion is reached on the possibility of faking death in 20 days, the final decision will be made on whether to punish the Zhongyi Xiangjun."
The shocking sound of "popping" drew an end to today's preliminary trial. And Xia Shuanghan and Ding Gongzi's "corpse" were quickly caught by the people who came forward and taken to the back hall of the yamen.
The dimly lit corridors, the mildewy and humid air, and the high walls with a small light and ventilation window, this cell at the end of the corridor, far away from all the other prisoners, was the best cell, where Xia Shuang Han needed to live and stay for the next twenty days.
"Sister!" Although he was taken out of the waiting room by his father before passing through the court, it was obviously impossible for Xia Chaoyang, who really followed Xia Jingzhi back to Xia's house, in fact, he had been standing outside the threshold of the court with his father and brother-in-law throughout the process of being promoted to the court, waiting for today's result.
And after Jing Zhaoyin took a picture of the shocking wood and put her in prison according to Xia Shuanghan's own proposal, Xia Chaoyang, who was slightly relieved, but knew that the matter had not been completely resolved, came to the prison cell to visit under the leadership of his father and brother-in-law.
"Sister, brother-in-law told me that after Brother Zhen Chen came out of the waiting room, he had already left the city quickly. And within twenty days, he will definitely come back with an antidote that can prove his sister's words, so as long as he waits for twenty days, my sister can go home with us in peace, right? ”
"Yes, that's right, that's it."
Because of Jing Zhaoyin's special care, and added a narrow bed, a half-old table, a few benches, and other necessary daily necessities in the cell, Xia Shuanghan, who was more satisfied with the current difficult and simple but acceptable living environment, raised his hand with a smile and pinched his brother's little face, and then comforted him: "Chaoyang don't worry, my sister will definitely be proven innocent within twenty days, and then walk out of here unscathed." So during this time, you must obediently listen to your father and wait patiently for your sister to go back and reunite with you, you know? ”
Glancing at his daughter's relaxed and calm expression, Xia Jingzhi, who was asked by Xia Shuanghan to ask him to take Xia Chaoyang out of the waiting room first, didn't know her daughter's intentions, in fact, she still had some private words to say to Lu Shaoyun and Su Yixing.
It's just that considering that his daughter has already grown up and married, he doesn't need to worry about it anymore, so Xia Jingzhi left with his son without any objection, leaving enough space for the three people in the room to talk.
Now, looking at the smile on his daughter's face, which was obviously not a forced smile, and the calm and calm expression on his son-in-law's face, even if he didn't know what several young people were planning, Xia Jingzhi still calmly put his mind at ease - since his daughter and son-in-law had already agreed on what to do next, then he, as a father, would wait and wait for the result.
"Uncle Yao really put in a lot of effort!" After talking with my sister for a while, and then completely calming down, Xia Chaoyang, who stood up and looked around at this cell, said: "This cell is believed to be the cleanest and most suitable cell for people to live in, right?" ”
"Well, Xiran said, this cell has been thoroughly cleaned, so there will definitely be no rats, cockroaches, lice or anything like that."
Nodding in agreement with Xia Chaoyang's words, he turned to Lu Shaoyun, who was cold in Xia Shuanghan, and continued: "In the next twenty days, except for not allowing you to go out from here, he and Lord Yao will try their best to help you achieve all other requirements." ”
He also carefully looked at this cell, although he was unwilling to part with his newly married wife who had been married for less than a month, but he had to admit that this was indeed as Xia Shuanghan said, Lu Shaoyun, who was planning and countering the opportunity of Xu Jinhan's army, finally accepted the current arrangement.
"You don't have to worry about Ding Gongzi's body, Xiran and I will naturally arrange it properly, and we will never let him have any accidents before taking the antidote." While speaking, he sat down on the bench beside Xia Shuanghan, and Lu Shaoyun, who quietly reached over to hold his wife's soft, quietly reached over to hold his wife's soft, and smiled faintly at Xia Shuanghan.
When Fang was in the waiting room, the three of them had already calculated that in order to prevent any accidents in Ding Gongzi's body, tomorrow, Su Yixing, who made the antidote according to the booklet left by Wen Xueying, would come to lift his suspended animation.
If Ding Gongzi did return to normal after taking the antidote, then for the next twenty days, they would keep him in a coma to hide his eyes. And if there is an accident with the antidote and Ding Gongzi can't wake up, then Su Yixing will really go out of Beijing as soon as possible and go to recover Wen Xueying.
Xia Shuanghan, who pulled out his hand and then held her husband's hand, smiled faintly at him with a comforting expression, and was completely mentally prepared to be placed under house arrest in a short period of time.
Anyway, whether it was in Qiu Zishan at the beginning or in the Xiangyang Mansion not long ago, she had already experienced the taste of being in prison! So now that she is really locked in the prison cell of the Yamen, she has not given birth to any emotions that make her current situation particularly unacceptable.
When the sun was sinking and dusk was falling, when every household in the capital was cooking smoke, it was time for the family who had been together in the cell for a long time to say goodbye to each other.
"Sister, Daddy said, this prison of Jingzhao Yin Yamen is not a place where we can come casually if we want to. Therefore, the next time we meet, we may not have to wait until ten days later. ”
Reluctantly, and at the same time worried, he took Xia Shuanghan's hand, hoping that his sister didn't need to stay in such a place Xia Chaoyang, raised his face slightly and said: "I hope my sister will take care of herself in the next few days, and you must take care of your body, do you know?" ”
"Well, my sister knows." He responded to his younger brother with a light smile, and then turned around and gently hugged her husband's Xia Shuanghan, and waved his three family members out of the cell.
At the same time, the news that "Zhongyi Township Jun killed someone in a violent fight on the street, and has now been imprisoned by Jingzhao Yin Yamen" also spread it with the help of eyewitnesses who witnessed the whole incident during the day, as well as those who were stopped outside the main gate of Jingzhao Yin Yamen and could only watch the entire trial process of the case from a distance.
"What did you say at the beginning? I told you not to marry her, but you didn't listen. Now it's okay, a wave of unevenness has risen again and again, and the woman of Zhongyi Xiangjun is too good at causing trouble, right? ”
The fact that the loyal and righteous townsman of the Holy Emperor was imprisoned by the Jingzhao Yin Yamen on suspicion of indirectly causing death was jointly written by several ministers in front of the Holy Lord on the morning of the twenty-third day of May.
After all, first of all, Xia Shuanghan, who bears the name of "loyalty", is involved in a lawsuit over human life, so it is not a trivial matter to discredit the royal family's praise of her.
Secondly, more than a month ago, several imperial historians who wrote about Lu Shaoyun and Su Yixing's private fight have not completely taken their eyes off the issue of Lu Shaoyun and Su Yixing's back house. Therefore, today, the hat that Su Yixing was forced to wear more than a month ago was put on by Lu Shaoyun today.
"Tingxuan, tell me yourself, with your conditions, what kind of noble girl in Beijing you want to marry can't marry? But why do you not hesitate to make a fuss, and you have to hang yourself on the crooked neck tree of Zhongyi Xiangjun? ”
In the study room of the East Palace, in the face of Prince Ouyang Han's remarks, Lu Shaoyun firmly defended his wife and said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I believe that you already know all the content stated in the joint letter of several imperial historians, as well as Jing Zhaoyin's explanations and statements on 'his current handling of this case'. Then you should know very well that this incident is not that Uchiko deliberately caused trouble for me outside, but that someone with ulterior motives deliberately found her and set this trap. ”
"Then according to what you say, the loyal and righteous countryman is completely right, but she was implicated by you, and was set up by your enemies to plot against her?"
Sitting behind the boxy desk, Ouyang Han, who was laughed at by Lu Shaoyun's statement, retorted: "I'm surprised, this person who is an official in the court, there are really a few people who have no political enemies, but why don't you see the daughters of other families being plotted by their husband's enemies, and then getting into a life lawsuit?" The reason why others would come up with such a trick to deliberately find Xia Shuanghan is not because she is a restless woman? ”
"If the loyal and righteous countryman is like someone else's wife, obediently staying in the inner house, not leaving the door and not stepping out of the second door, can this fight and brawl find her head? If it weren't for her aggressive nature, if she was unhappy and drew a whip to teach people, would this plot of accidental injury and death succeed in her? In the final analysis, it is actually a sentence, the wife is virtuous and the husband is less troubled, Ting Xuan, you just married the wrong person, do you know? ”
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, your statement, please forgive the general, it is really difficult to accept."
Lu Shaoyun, who knelt on one knee with his fists clenched and said that he had to protect his wife well, retorted: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, everyone's personality traits will become his greatest strength under certain circumstances, but in the same way, in other cases, these inherent character traits will also become his biggest shortcoming, which is undeniable. ”
"Yes, Uchiko is indeed hot-tempered and fierce, so he was set a trap by others, and then he was calculated. But if she wasn't such a character, the title of Loyal and Righteous Countryman would not have fallen on her head. ”
"Breaking into the fire to save people, accompanying the last general to the outside of the gate, taking timely and accurate response measures before the outbreak of typhoid fever, and being born and dying many times, I believe that these things, in exchange for those ladies who don't go out of the door and don't step out, even if they are killed, they can't do it."
"Therefore, since a character like Uchiko's has indeed played a huge role and come in handy in certain situations, it is not appropriate to condemn and criticize her when she is in trouble because of her own character."
"Everything has two sides, and no one in this world is perfect and can do everything. Therefore, the last general does not think that the reason why today's events have happened is that the fault lies with Uchiko. (To be continued.) )
